Happy Hands Mittens for Kids
The best part about these Happy Hands Mittens for Kids is how simple of a crochet mittens pattern it is to work up. Even if you've never worked up a mittens pattern before, you can take up a cozy Saturday afternoon with this one as your first. I never liked mittens as a kid, but that's because I didn't want to look like everyone else. These will make sure your kid always stays unique, comfy, and cozy warm. Use their favorite color for an even more customized crochet mittens look!

Hi dianechaniak, There is no link to the pattern - it's all directly on this page. As you scroll past the green "Easy" bar, you'll see an "Instructions" line and then the pattern text begins. Hope that helps! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochet
